The bus stand has a few small guesthouses that offer single rooms for a few hours. They’re only a couple of minutes from the temple and usually let you check in after the morning visit and leave before the first train departs. If you want a quiet night, the budget hotels in Chitradurga are a 50 km drive and give you a quieter environment, but the travel time means you’ll miss the early trains from Hiriyur. Do you need a place that’s right next to the station or are you okay with the short drive?
